Birther Romney adviser in Kansas may remove Obama from ballot in state

The fact that a Romney adviser is considering removing President Obama from the ballot in Kansas should give everyone pause. Not simply because the reason for removing the President is the racist "birther" theory that Mitt Romney himself gave a push two just a few weeks ago. But more importantly, the Republicans, and via his adviser, Mitt Romney, are once again considering whether they can steal an election.

What's amazing is that the Republicans talk a good talk about stealing elections, but when it comes down to it, they always seem to be the only ones making a serious effort at doing just that. It's called a "tell" in poker, and we've talked about it a number of times here on AMERICAblog. Republicans accuse Democrats of doing what Republicans are already doing.

It's not just a tell, it's also a way to inoculate themselves. If you're going to attempt to steal an election, what better way to cover yourself than accuse the guy you're stealing it from of being a thief, first.
